How to use Dovonex®
Always use Dovonex exactly as your doctor has told you.
You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
How to put on Dovonex This medicine is only for using on your skin or the skin of a child.
Do not swallow it. Do not put it inside your body.
Never put this medicine on your face or the face of your child as it may cause irritation.
Do not mix Dovonex with any other medicines.
Remove the cap. Check the seal is not broken before you first use the ointment. If you have a 240 gram tube, remove the foil seal on the tube.* If you have a 15 gram, 30 gram, 60 gram, 100 gram or 120 gram tube, you will need to break the seal by using the point in the back of the cap.* Always wash your hands before using Dovonex. Put your medicine on the skin which has the psoriasis. You can squeeze your medicine on to your skin directly. You can squeeze it on to your finger first if you wish. Put your medicine on thickly. Then rub it in gently to cover the psoriasis. Always wash your hands after using Dovonex. This will stop any medicine accidentally spreading to other parts of your body. Do not worry if you accidentally get any ointment on your normal skin, but wash it off if it spreads too far. Unless you are using the ointment to treat your hands, always wash your hands after using Dovonex. You should try to keep your skin well moisturised particularly after a bath or shower. If you use a moisturiser wait for it to soak in before you use your medicine.
